Dikshit paleographically the plates showed resembles to the Halsi grant of Kadamba Kakusthavarman based on the seal of the Varaha, ending of the name varman and dating of plates according to regnal year, was a practice of the Kadamba dynasty. Besides, the Kadamba family is one of the early dynasties known to have ruled over Goa and its adjoining territories on the western sea board in the 5 th century and thus was placed to the early Kadamba family. This did not help much in dating as it is of a later period whose accepted dated is A.D. PLATE II A. It is also compared to the Maurya family referred in the Aihole inscription of Pulakesin II. To the Gamin family of which Devaraja belonged. To Chandraditya, son of Pulakeshin II of the Chalukya dynasty who is known to have ruled the territory near about Ratnagiri. D.0 Sircar also states that there was a Maurya dynasty in the Konkan and another in Rajputana.
